@banzai,
Jim, Have you called your doctor?
When my belly got swollen and hurt, it was time for a paracenthesis which is a procedure to drain the excess fluids off your abdomen. I had many of the other symptoms that you have alrady described.
Get it checked. Make the call to your doctor.
Hugs to you. I know what you are feeling. Keep me updated.

@banzai Get on the phone and call whatever doctor is caring for your liver problems. It sounds as if you have extreme ascites. I did not have that until the last month prior to when I finally got my transplant but at that point, I gained 35 pounds from retaining fluid. I know some people have a procedure where the fluid is removed. I never had that.
Please take care.
JK
