In formal English grammar and standard prose, you cannot directly interchange the standalone noun or prefix "post" as a direct preposition substitute for the word "after." While "post-" functions as a prefix meaning subsequent (such as postgraduate or postseason), standalone sentences require the preposition "after." You cannot grammatically say "we went to dinner post the movie," but rather must use "after the movie," reserving "post-" for hyphenated compound words.
