What Causes Food To Get Stuck In Wind Pipe?

Hi
Have had an operation 3 weeks ago and had a general anaesthetic. Ever since then, I have had trouble eating. Food seems to stick in my windpipe and takes forever to shift. Today in particular, I cannot get it to move and keep bringing up liquid when I cough or belch. Have tried vomiting also.
