Reality TV star EJ was last seen with his father a year ago at the Elizabeth Taylor Ball to End AIDS at The Beverly Hills Hotel.

Also at the event was Magic’s wife Cookie Johnson as well as Elisa Johnson, Lisa Johnson and Andre Johnson.

In 2015, Johnson underwent gastric sleeve surgery which caused major weight loss.

And he told E! News he keeps the weight off with lighter meals.

‘For me I just constantly throughout the day I just nibble as opposed to sitting down for large meals,’ EJ explained. 

EJ works out with a trainer and also does Pilates.

‘I do a lot of Pilates. I try to get at least four days a week in, so it’s a lot of that,’ he shared.

EJ said it’s all about ‘maintaining’ his weight while having a good time.

‘Find a workout that’s something you love to do,’ EJ said.

‘For me it’s not even working out it’s just having fun. We dance a lot, we sweat and at the end of it I’m like, “Wow! I burned all these calories and I didn’t even know because we were just having a blast.”‘

And he has cut out a lot of carbs and sugar, he told UsWeekly.

WHAT IS GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY? 

Gastric sleeve surgery is a type of weight-loss surgery, according to John Hopkins Medicine.

Weight-loss surgery is also called bariatric surgery. This surgery also known as sleeve gastrectomy or vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG). 

Gastric sleeve surgery restricts your food intake, which leads to weight loss. You may lose from 50 to 90 pounds.

It’s done as a laparoscopic surgery, with small incisions in the upper abdomen. Most of the left part of the stomach is removed. The remaining stomach is then a narrow tube called a sleeve. Food empties out of the bottom of the stomach into the small intestine the same way that it did before surgery. The small intestine is not operated on or changed. After the surgery, less food will make you full when eating.

Gastric sleeve surgery is used to treat severe obesity. It’s advised for people who have tried other weight loss methods without long-term success. Your doctor may advise gastric sleeve surgery if you are severely obese with a body mass index (BMI) over 40. Your doctor may also advise it if you have a BMI between 35 and 40 and a health condition such as sleep apnea, high blood pressure, heart disease, or type 2 diabetes.

Bleeding, infection, and blood clots in your legs are possible side effects that may occur after any surgery. General anesthesia may also cause breathing problems or other reactions.

Over time, you may also have some trouble absorbing certain nutrients. Or you may develop a narrowing (stricture) in your stomach sleeve. Some people may have heartburn or reflux after the surgery. If you already have moderate to severe reflux, a gastric sleeve could make that worse. You may want to consider a gastric bypass surgery instead. That type of surgery can stop reflux and heartburn.

You may have other risks based on your health. Make sure to talk with your healthcare team about any concerns before the surgery.

Your healthcare team will need to make sure that gastric sleeve surgery is a good option for you. Weight-loss surgery isn’t advised for people who abuse medicines or alcohol, or who are not able to commit to a lifelong change in diet and exercise habits.

Before having surgery, you’ll need to enroll in a bariatric surgery education program. This will help you get ready for surgery, and life after surgery. You’ll have nutritional counseling. And you may have a psychological evaluation. You’ll also need physical exams and tests. You will need blood tests. You may have imaging studies of your stomach, or have an upper endoscopy.

If you smoke, you will need to stop several months before surgery. Your surgeon may ask you to lose some weight before surgery. This will help make your liver smaller, and make surgery safer. You’ll need to stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen, and other blood-thinning medicines in the days before your surgery. You shouldn’t eat or drink anything after midnight before surgery.
