I get on the scales most days and find my weight is increasing. I am not eating any more than usual, my clothes still fit fine. Always bothers me in case I have any ascites or pleural effusion and fluid is causing weight gain, tho I feel alright. Scales are ok

Weight gain with Rubraca
I am on Rubraca and I am putting on weight too. The problem is, my clothes don't fit!

I am the same, but mine extra weight is still from Xmas,so not really sure if it is the Rubraca. Having said that I have now cut back on some things, so will see if that makes a difference. For me it depends if I can walk every day & that is dependent on the weather. I have noticed that a jacket I wear not so often is a little bit tighter. If you had pleural effusion you would be out of breath more,because when I had that problem last year I had a problem getting upstairs without getting out of breath. Not sure about ascites, but am guessing your clothes may feel a bit tight.
Pleased you are ok otherwise .
Take care.
I often wonder about that too as my scales can fluctuate up to 5lbs overnight. If however I do the pinch an inch test I can pinch about 4 inches so I tell myself it’s just fat. I lie around and sleep more than I used to because I get tired so that has also got to be factored in.
