I am 12 days post op/pain on left side and pain with eating

Two fold question here... I am having constant pain (like a "stitch") in my left side/ribcage area. Anyone else experience this with lap RNY? Also, After about 3 bites of solid food (ie: soft chicken, fish) I begin to hurt in my chest. I chew well and take small bites but it still hurts. I then start to burp and feel the need to bring it up, and sometimes I do. Then, nothing wants to go down. I do fine with protien shakes (half serving at a time) and soft mushy foods like yogurt, cottage cheese and refried beans. Any suggestions?
