Jenny McCarthy revealed that she underwent a root cavitation procedure on Monday – and was left with "no memory" of filming the hilarious video she later posted on social media. The 52-year-old took to Instagram to share a short clip of herself shortly after undergoing the procedure. The close-up video shows Jenny wearing black Ray-Ban sunglasses as a tooth scanner moves across her jaw. In the clip, she can be heard hiccuping and saying, "This is my third attempt at a root cavitation. I'm high as a kite. What kind of medicine was that?"

In the caption, the star penned: "No memory of this yesterday after surgery. Thank God this was the only video I found on my phone this AM."

"Especially in today's age how convenient fast-food restaurants are, and how exhausted we are as mothers," she shared. "It's too overwhelming that we sacrifice healthy food."

In regards to her workout routine, Jenny combines cardio, strength training and flexibility workouts. "I can't run anymore, my bones hurt," she told Fox News. "So all I do is an incline of 15 on a treadmill, and then I hold my hand weights, and I watch Game of Thrones or Housewives, and I literally box while I walk uphill, and that's all I can do for 45 minutes a day. That's all I have left in me."

During an interview with US Weekly, the star admitted that she is "not an Ozempic person". "I wanted a permanent solution to a targeted area…and that's what I got," she added.

"I think whatever suits someone's needs. If you fall into the category where you think it's right for you, I am not gonna shame you," she told the outlet. 

Exciting times ahead
