To be honest, if exercise caused my chest to hurt, I'd talk to a doctor rather than a message board. It may be nothing or it may be something. He (or she) will know your history and the questions to ask. That said, side stitches are common. But chest pains? Talk to doc. My two cents.

Mega congrats!

FWIW... Walmart Great Value 97% Fat Free ice Cream Sandwiches have 110 calories. And their not bad at all! Good to have an option.

Stay active - hike, bike, swim, fish - and maybe you can give yourself a little more flexibility is what you eat for a few days.
