contact your provide regarding the swollen stomach, but in terms of weight loss it's often a case of just really going back to basics and starting again, logging all you warm changing up to more protein and less carbs, increase water, increase or switch your exercise, changing calories eaten types of food eaten.
You haven't said what you're eating or what you're doing, or what portions etc you're eating so we can only give general suggestions.

I too am static for 3 weeks nothing lost. I know I am eating less than 600 cals and as quite a new bypass it wasn't expected to not lose anyway my nurse has said it is just my body getting used to it all and after having large weight losses some weeks it is a small ledge which been hit, so although it is disheartening I just have to carry on and maybe weigh myself once a month instead.
Hopefully it is just the same with you ( apart from the swollen stomach which maybe u could get advice on ) and the body will catch up by a large loss in a few weeks.

it seems quite heavy carb wise so maybe try focussing on protein based foods. Chicken, tuna, prawns, eggs and lean meat. Soup us a slider as is a yoghurt so move to drier and crunchier foods on your main meals and it will help keep you fuller for longer.
Expand out into the foods you're eating. If you're eating the same things the body becomes used to it and it needs shaking up.
Also log your food if you don't already to get an idea of the calories you're having along with protein and carbs and then try a few weeks on say minimum 70g protein but a max of 70g carbs as this has worked well for a lot if banders. Shaking if up shocks the body so it begins losing. If can take a while to find out at what intake you will lies my optimum losses came at 1100 cals but min 70g protein and max 70g carbs. But even after 14 months I needed to shake things up a bit so am following a plan now similar to weight watchers.
It's worth trying these different things.
And what do you do exercise wise?

Drink more water n exercise to kick start
This issue comes up a lot! So much so that I put together a couple of threads for newbies, the post op eating tips worked for me, click on the links below:

Plus some other info you may find useful on how the band works:

From what you have posted you are eating though I would suggest that you ditch the slider foods, such as soup, yoghurt and even jacket potato in favour of food with more substance.
Hope that helps!
