EJ Johnson, star of "Rich Kids of Beverly Hills," has obviously lost a lot of weight. He was recently spotted in Los Angeles for Nicky Hilton's book launch, and the reality star was almost unrecognizable.

EJ Johnson made his way to the party with reality TV co-star Morgan Stewart and his fans, as well as the fans of the show, nearly did not recognize him because of the amount of weight that he has shed off.

Magic Johnson's famous son went through gastric bypass surgery in late August and has shed off over 50 pounds since then. Fans have now speculated that this only marks the beginning of EJ Johnson weight loss if what he said about his diet regimen is any indication.

"I stopped eating," the reality star shared when he was asked by the press if he was spending a lot of time at the gym.

As he continues to drop in size, surely, he will be needing a massive wardrobe change.

Additionally, EJ Johnson's parents, Magic Johnson and Cookie Weigh, are with him to support him as he goes through this healthy transition. He recently told People that weight loss, for him, "is really exciting." He then added that "Weight is something that I've been struggling with for pretty much all of my life."

The 22-year-old reality TV star mentioned that he attempted to commit himself to quite a number of popular diets but none of the things he tried were successful. It was only then that he decided to consider gastric sleeve surgery, which works by surgically making the stomach smaller, a couple of years ago.

"Nothing was working," EJ Johnson revealed. "And I wanted to make a more permanent decision to get back on track. But, I wanted to wait until I was a little bit older to know how to handle myself afterwards."
