What an AMAZING difference 9 days makes(2/12/77 & 2/21/77)
Well that's medication for you.
Elvis's fluctuating appearance had much more to do with his combination of meds than any dietary issues, hence the sudden changes at times. It's a fallacy that he was ever a fat man.
Plus, a bad photo makes a big difference!

It's more than just "bloating". Elvis was over weight.
being overweight includes arms, legs, and neck as well..and one can't get rid of pounds that quickly..so?
Yes he was overweight but also bloating contributed to his appearance problems.
The comments about changes between Omaha and June 26 and accurate

The difference there is shocking. That can not be healthy in anyway, for ones body to change like that in such a short period of time. Not intentionally, he was killing himself slowly.
"How do I get placed in situations like this? Ah hell, I guess it's all part of showbusiness "~ Elvis in his limo on his way to perform in Omaha, NE on June 19th 1977
He changed like this from 72 till 77. He changed so much.
"When I was a child, ladies and gentlemen, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was a hero in the movie. So every dream that I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times. I learned very early in life that without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend; without a song. So I keep singing a song." - Elvis Presley
if you look at his jumpsuits from 1970 to 1977 there relaly is not that much of difference my grandmother is one that made my fringe and she does this kind of stuff and wedding dresses and etc. She told me was really 1/4 to 1/2 inch on both side which is really not that much!
Love to all,
Tim
nope i would disagree..elvis was looked just super in 72..weight problems really began to show in october of 74...since then he never really managed a steady weight or waistline..at times when he felt like it he would lose weight. then regain it again.obviosly sadly elvis was slowly destroying himself..just look at what an improvement in the dec 76 tour..elvis looked great really slimmed down but it didint last long.. 1 month and a half later when the feb 77 tour popped up .elvis regained alot of weight..and never recovered .. i would say since oct 74 to june 77 it was always like this no body can take such punishment for too long

Yes he looks like he is trying to clear his throat in the first bad photo, his face is scrunched up which causes fat to bulge more on the cheeks-his head and shoulders are tilted slightly down which increases the jowly saggy look and the contrast of the picture is stronger.
The other photo, his hair is neater, the face is straighter with no scrunch, the shoulders are not slouched and the lighting is softer which gives a much better overall look to him.
[QUOTE=KPM;253706]u are 100% correct...the 1 st piccy was simply a really bad taken photo ..obviosly taken by someone who dosent know how to take piccys a real amateur
