Cirrhosis with Ascites

Robert is a 58-year-old male presenting with abdominal swelling for 1 month. About a month ago I started noticing my belly getting bigger. At first I thought I was just gaining weight, but it's gotten really distended — it looks like I'm nine months pregnant. My pants don't fit at all and I had to start wearing sweatpants. Your task is to take a focused history from this patient.
