Not abnormal: That weight loss over 2 months is not abnormal with the amount of dental work you have had performed on yourself. As your teeth/oral cavity continue to heal, you should be able to get back to your normal dietary habits. If however, your diet is still affected, and you need to gain weight back for stamina and general health, than a calorie supplement like boost or ensure may be of benefit.

Weight loss: Not normal, but not unexpected with dental problems. Discuss issue with your Dentist who can recommend dietary supplements to help reverse the trend.
