Brielle Biermann sounds like she's been through hell recovering from double jaw surgery -- both physically and mentally -- but she's staying positive ... with her sights set on Thanksgiving!!!
We got the "Don't Be Tardy" star at LAX, where she gave us an update on the gnarly procedure she had done in August to correct some major biting and breathing issues she's dealt with most of her life.
As you see ... Brielle's still in post-op mode with a splint in her mouth, and tells us she's several weeks away from being able to eat foods, like meatballs.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
She says her limited diet's resulted in her dropping 15 pounds, but the silver lining -- if there is one -- is her doctor's instructing her to have a daily milkshake to get her weight back up.
Brielle says the recovery process has been incredibly challenging, and she's been feeling down lately ... what with missing her friends and socializing.
The good news -- Brielle tells us the end of her eating woes is hopefully near ... and she should be able to celebrate on the holidays by gorging herself like everyone else!

Jon Jones 911 Call Before Arrest: 'She's Bleeding From The Nose & Mouth'
A security guard claimed Jon Jones' fiancee was bleeding from the nose and mouth -- and was scared to return to the hotel room where the UFC champ was staying -- in a 911 call before his arrest.
"We've got a possible DV call. Domestic violence call. Female is bleeding from the nose and mouth," a Caesars Palace security official told Las Vegas Metro PD dispatch around 4:30 AM on September 24.
Security almost immediately informs dispatch the male suspected of being involved in the incident is "professional MMA fighter, Jonathan Jones."
FYI, Jones was in Vegas because his epic 2013 fight against Alexander Gustafsson was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Despite the alleged injuries, security tells the 911 operator the woman has not accused Jones of getting physical with her ... but he's clearly suspicious.
The caller says the woman was asking for help, but didn't want to grab her stuff from the room, despite an escort from security.
"She's trying to get assistance, but she's refusing to go back up to the room."
Jon's fiancee -- who was with her 3 daughters -- received first aid ... but refused any further medical assistance.
Remember, Jones was ultimately arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery and tampering with a vehicle ... for allegedly smashing his head into a cop car while handcuffed. The damage is said to be north of $5,000, making it a felony.
It's unclear what started the alleged incident, but Jon's fiancee told police he returned to the hotel room from a night at the strip club, and was in a bad mood.
Days after his arrest, Jon broke his silence, saying he was swearing off alcohol from now on.
Despite vowing to kick booze, Jones will still have to appear in court later this month.

"I've had a few stitches to my lip + face. I’ve been discharged already," Murphy said on Twitter.

Bam Margera got a ride to a Florida rehab facility ... in the back of a police car.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... deputies took the "Jackass" star to rehab after responding to a Sunday morning call about an emotionally distressed person at the Don CeSar Resort Hotel in St. Pete Beach.
When cops arrived, we're told deputies were given the heads up about a court order directing Bam to go to rehab, so police assisted. We're told Bam was NOT arrested and he doesn't have any pending charges.

Bam's unfortunately no stranger to rehab ... as we've reported, his life has been pretty turbulent lately, with his wife recently asking for custody of their 3-year-old son, Phoenix Wolf.
What's more, BM's also been booted from the fourth installment of the "Jackass" franchise and beefed with Johnny Knoxville and director Jeff Tremaine.
TMZ broke the story ... Bam says one of his earlier rehab stints made him feel like he was going to die from suicide or an overdose, and then he claimed he was getting help from a woman in Florida who's worked with famous folks like AC/DC's Brian Johnson and Steven Tyler.

Baltimore Ravens Assistant Coach Blew Out Hammy Celebrating Justin Tucker's Game-Winning Kick
Justin Tucker's 66-yard game-winning kick Sunday wasn't just painful for Lions fans ... it also REALLY hurt a Ravens assistant coach, who blew out his hamstring celebrating!!!
Baltimore headman, John Harbaugh, explained the situation to reporters Monday ... saying linebackers coach, Drew Wilkins, popped his hammy while jumping for joy after Tucker's epic boot.
Right side 😭😂 pic.twitter.com/Rnl55fWQ6o
— Zack (@freebirdzack) September 27, 2021 @freebirdzack
Harbaugh took a little bit of joy in announcing the injury ... joking with media members that the wound was all due to Wilkins' poor gym habits.
"Drew is philosophically opposed to exercise," Harbaugh said with a big smile. "He's made that clear over the years, kind of emphatically. He's a staunch believer in not exercising. You can see where that gets you."
Video of the celebration is pretty funny -- even though it's got to be pretty painful as well -- 'cause you can see in the clip Wilkins tumbled hard after rushing the field to celebrate Tucker's kick.
Unclear how long Wilkins' recovery process will be -- Harbaugh joked the MRI results are not in yet -- but we're pretty sure a come from behind, improbable 19-17 win will make the pain a little easier to swallow.

3:08 PM PT -- Jordan was booked Saturday for one count of aggravated assault of a healthcare professional. He has since been released.
Jeffrey Jordan, Michael Jordan's 32-year-old son, is accused of assaulting staff at a hospital in Arizona Friday night, where he was being treated for an injury he sustained in a bar, TMZ Sports has learned.
Here's the deal ... Jeffrey was at Casa Amigos bar in Scottsdale when he "fell and hit his head," according to police. They say Jordan then became combative with security who were attempting to escort him out of the bar to receive medical attention.
Scottsdale PD, who were in the area for an unrelated call, were summoned to assist. Cops interviewed bar staff, and eventually deemed the incident "medical in nature," not criminal. An ambulance was called to transport JJ to a hospital.
After arriving at a local hospital, that's when things allegedly took a turn.
Jeffrey is accused of assaulting hospital staff while being treated for the injury he sustained at the bar. A report for aggravated assault, a felony, was taken at the hospital.
As for Jeffrey's side, our sources tell us he was confused and disoriented following the fall.
Jordan was NOT arrested or charged with a crime. As of this morning, he still remains in the hospital.
Police tell us the relevant reports will be sent to the Maricopa County Prosecutors Office ... where they will review the case and determine if charges are warranted.
6'1" Jeffrey, MJ's oldest son, played college basketball at the University of Illinois, before transferring to the University of Central Florida in 2010. He played 107 college basketball games over his career, averaging about 2 points a game.

Sanders posted vids of his return to work on Thursday ... showing the legend riding around in a golf cart as players run drills.
Sanders even shared footage of his journey back into the office ... crutching his way to his desk before taking a seat.
Welcome back, Coach!!
9/22/21
Deion Sanders is hitting the operating table ... undergoing surgery to fix a foot that's been completely jacked up for YEARS.
The Hall of Famer and current Jackson State football head coach's doctor explained the reason for the procedure just before Sanders went under the knife Wednesday ... and the injury sounds horrific.
Sanders' doc said Deion's "second toe is dislocated" ... and it's been that way since perhaps Sanders' football-playing days.
"You've been dealing with this for a long time," the doctor said, "and it's just gotten worse."
Sanders' doc then described what the surgery will entail -- and it, too, sounds terrifying!
"She's going to shorten that second toe a little bit by cutting through the bone," the doctor said, "kind of reattaching it, lengthening one of the tendons and then straightening out your first toe to give you more room for that second toe."
Sanders didn't seem concerned at all, though ... and was all smiles right before the anesthesia kicked in.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
While Sanders is expected to be on a scooter for the next six weeks while the foot heals -- he's expected to make a full recovery.
Get well soon, Prime!

New York Giants star offensive lineman Nick Gates will need another surgery to try to repair his broken leg ... and there's now a fear the operations could end his career.
Gates horrifically snapped his left leg while pass protecting during a play in the Giants' loss to the Washington Football Team last week ... and, despite early optimism of a full recovery, head coach Joe Judge says his rehab has hit a snag.
WARNING - this is ugly.

Gates had seemed to be making good progress after the initial procedures ... 'cause just a few days ago, he was walking with the help of a walker.
Now, though, his football career appears to be very much in jeopardy.
If it is the end, Gates had a hell of a run in the NFL ... the 25-year-old started 21 games in a little over two seasons with New York and had just been named a team captain.
Get well soon.

Plant added the scrap will still go down on Nov. 6 as planned.
"Tune in," he said.

The boxers stared each other down before taking questions from media members in Los Angeles ... when suddenly, things got intense between the two.
Broadcast cameras showed Canelo shoved Plant ... and then repeatedly called him a "motherf***er."
That's when Plant came back and tried to land a huge haymaker ... which Canelo appeared to dodge.

Devin Clark sustained one of the most gruesome injuries you'll ever see in a combat sports event ... and now the UFC fighter is answering the question -- how much it did hurt?!?
"It was probably a 7 or 8 after the fight. You fight the fight. He got his hand raised. Then that adrenaline starts coming, and it comes down quick. And, by the time I'm leaving the cage, I'm like, 'Okay, that hurts,'" Clark tells TMZ Sports.
If you didn't see the injury (lucky you) ... it was incredibly gross. Devin was fighting fellow light heavyweight fighter Ion Cutelaba at UFC Fight Night Saturday afternoon.
31-year-old Clark ate a heavy knee in the 2nd round ... a shot so hard it literally displaced Clark's teeth.
It was bothering him so much during the fight, he went back to his corner before the 3rd round, and told his team something was wrong with his teeth.

Ever think about? As fans we want to see great fight & display of skills, but at same time absolutely hate to witness & feel for fighters experiencing pain or suffering. It changes on a dime!
Best Wishes Devin🙏#devinclark pic.twitter.com/VQIN9ol3hf
The ringside doctor even examined Clark at one point ... but somehow let him continue.
And, continue he did, despite the pain.
After the fight, Clark went to the hospital and they patched him up. On Tuesday, he plans to see his dentist ... and the road to recovery won't be easy or quick.
Unfortunately for Devin, he ended up losing via a unanimous decision. But, win or loss, NOBODY can ever question this dude's toughness.

Kym Whitley was trying to get her green thumb on, but instead, ended up badly bruised -- so she claims in a new lawsuit against a plant shop.
The comedian filed suit against a place called Green Thumb Nursery in L.A.'s Canoga Park neighborhood ... where she says she went a couple years ago to do some plant shopping.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Whitley claims she pulled up to the store, parked and then tried strolling through an alleyway adjacent to the facility, before tripping on what she says was a "broken, defective, poorly maintained section of asphalt."
She says the stumble turned into a tumble ... making her land face first into the ground, and busting her mug up pretty badly -- she claims she broke bones and gushed blood. Whitley claims the nursery staff helped her up, and the manager said, "I told them to fix that!"
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
KW posted videos of the aftermath, showing just how badly banged up the fall left her. Her attitude seemed pretty chipper at the time ... writing, "Had a little boo-boo today. One minute you’re fine and the next minute you could be in the bed with your girlfriend @jackiefabulous talking about can you please bring me some ice."
Still, Kim was clearly injured and feels like GTN should pay. She's suing the company for premises liability and negligence, and seeking unspecified damages.

The guy was reportedly performing at Isle of Wight Festival at Seaclose Park in Newport, England before this happened.

Talk about getting smashed up ... UFC fighter Devin Clark is going to be spending LOTS of time in the dentist's chair this week, because his teeth are a mess after losing a fight.
It's pretty gruesome ... Clark went the full distance against Ion Cutelaba, but it wasn't easy. Clark was pummeled the first 2 rounds, and that appears to be when the damage was done. Cutelaba smashed in the bottom row of Clark's teeth.
The fight, at the UFC Apex in Vegas Saturday night, almost ended after round 2. Clark told his corner his teeth were messed up and there was talk about throwing in the towel, but he came out for the third and final round.
Things got even worse in round 3 when Cutelaba bashed Smith's head into the canvas.
The decision was unanimous in favor of Cutelaba.
UFC honcho Dana White was impressed with Clark's fortitude to stay the course, posting the hard-to-look-at pic with the caption, "one tough dude." True that.
