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

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

“For me, I just nibble constantly throughout the day instead of sitting down for big meals,” EJ explained.

And EJ trains with a trainer as well as with Pilates.

‘I do a lot of Pilates. I try to come in at least four days a week, so that’s a lot,” he said.

EJ said it’s all about “maintaining” his weight while having fun.

“Find a workout you enjoy doing,” said EJ. ‘For me it’s not even work, it’s just having fun. We dance a lot, we sweat and at the end I’m like, “Wow! I burned all these calories and I didn’t even know it because we just had a great time.”

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

WHAT IS STOMACH SURGERY?

Gastric sleeve surgery is a type of weight loss surgery, according to Johns Hopkins medicine.

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

Gastric sleeve surgery restricts your food intake, leading to weight loss. You can lose 50 to 90 pounds.

It is 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 is emptied from the bottom of the stomach into the small intestine in the same way as before surgery. The small intestine is not operated on or changed. After surgery, eating less will make you feel full while eating.

Gastric sleeve surgery is used to treat severe obesity. It is recommended for people who have tried other weight loss methods with no 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, infections, and blood clots in your legs are possible side effects that can occur after surgery. General anesthesia can also cause breathing problems or other reactions.

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

You may face other risks based on your health. Be sure to talk to your healthcare team about any concerns before surgery.

Your healthcare team will need to make sure that gastric sleeve surgery is a good option for you. Weight loss surgery is not recommended for people who abuse drugs or alcohol, or who cannot commit to a lifelong change in eating and exercise habits.

Before having surgery, you must enroll in a bariatric surgery training program. This will help you prepare for surgery and life after surgery. You receive nutritional advice. And you may have a psychological evaluation. You will also need physical exams and tests. You need blood tests. You may have imaging studies of your stomach or have an upper endoscopy.

If you smoke, you should stop several months before surgery. Your surgeon may ask you to lose some weight before surgery. This will help shrink your liver and make surgery safer. You should stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen, and other blood-thinning medications in the days before your surgery. You may not eat or drink anything after midnight before the operation.
