Hungry, hungry Hognose!
Just don't handle him while he's digesting his meal and keep an eye out for passed stools. More than likely he will pass multiple stools over the course of several days after digestion. Also, make sure he's getting enough heat on the warm end of the tank to help aid digestion along with fresh water. A cold snake doesn't digest food very well and it could result in illness. But you also need to make sure that there's a cool spot for him to cool down to as well.
The rule of thumb for judging the proper size meal to feed a snake is 1 to 1 1/2 times the girth of the snake. While a snake does have the ability to eat larger meals, it is taxing on their bodily functions. A meal that is far too large can sometimes result in a regurgitation. Hope that helps
