back pain after starting solids

Does anyone else have back pain after eating solid foods? I am on day six of solids, and if I stick to mushies or liquids, I am fine. But when I eat small portions (even just one ounce) of meat, and some other solid foods, I get an aching pain between my shoulder blades that lasts for several hours. Then it goes away. Liquids or mushies don't seem to cause this.

What's the deal? I hope some one can shed some light on this.

Thanks y'all.

Sounds a bit like what I used to get with my band. I would be inclined to go very, very gently with the solids, your new stomach is just finding them a bit difficult to take at the moment, but it will get easier. I found dry chewy things like steak etc. really difficult and had to progress very slowly. I am still cautious now although most foods seem to be unproblematic. Don't worry, you will be fine if you just take it easy.

I got the same thing for the first few days of regular solids. I assume you are not running a fever.

right, no fever
