Christie underwent lap band surgery in June. The surgery makes the stomach smaller, limiting the amount of food it can hold.

He told CNN he sleeps better since losing the weight. "I didn't feel badly at my previous weight, but I didn't realize how poorly I slept until how well I've been sleeping."
