Is it normal to have trouble swallowing after getting all your wisdom teeth pulled?

Not really but: Things do feel funny and unnatural while you are numb and expect some soreness and swelling as well. Some may say they 'have trouble swallowing' but it is more of a feeling than an actuality.

Sometimes: Depending on the difficulty of the procedure. It is temporary in any case. Hope this helps.
