Can Wisdom Teeth Removal Lead To Weight Gain?

I had three wisdom teeth removed on Tuesday since Tuesday I have gained 10 lbs?! Is this normal and will it come back off? I have two kids under two so am usually very active however, haven't been the last couple days, I have ate about the same and am breastfeeding so usually I struggle to even keep weight on .. this surprised me when I couldn't do my pants!
