What medication can I take after stomach surgery?

I am a 33 year old male. I want to know what medication can I take after stomach surgery?

You should have been discharged with the allowed medications after surgery..Any medication that has warning of causing stomach ulcer, I would stay away from such non-steroidal anti-inflammatory analgesic such as Ibuprofen and Meloxicam. Taking medication with food or milk helps to protect the stomach unless it's mentioned otherwise due to absorption bioavailability.
