3 Weeks Post Op Pain between breasts, radiating to back on left side.. is this normal?

Hi! I'm just about 3 weeks post-op. I've noticed that when I eat, I get this terrible shooting pain between my breasts that radiates towards my back on the left side. It takes my breath away, comes and goes, and can last as long as an hour. I've only vomited once, and the pain eventually passes. I feel like if I could just "burp" real good, I'd feel better, but I just wind up getting the hiccups! I'm sure I'm eating too fast or too big of bites. It happens with food that's not soft, that has more consistency to it. Has anyone had this experience? What did you do to make it go away? Did it do any damage to anything?? Thanks for any input!
