Food Hangover

Is it possible to have a food hangover? I ate a lot yesterday from soup to desserts and today I feel like a brick hit me on the head. Dosen't help I had to get up at 5:30 a.m. to come to work.

I ate a lot of dessert. Didn't much binge on meat, but I did on sweets. Didn't feel too comfortable going to bed last night and still am feeling a little heavy.

I dunno, Tony. I suppose anyting is possible for some people. I've been known to over-eat and get that "contented cow syndrom" (as my wife's friend says) but it never carries over to the next day. If you ate that much I hope you don't have any trouble taking a restroom break at work when the time comes.

LOL I think it was the sweets, it was late so I think that did something. I feel much better now.

Probably messed with your blood sugar level. Glad you're feeling better.

Kaopectate really works!

What sweets? Here we had apple and pumpkin pie, and I only had one piece of apple which sat at the end of my throat like a stone.

The place I always overdo it is the stuffing, I take whole bunches of it, hardly bother with the turkey, and lots of potatoes, and olives, and hot buttered rolls, yuuuuuuuum yuuuuuuuum.

We had Ambrosia, Apple Pie, Jello, Pumpkin Pie, Canoli's, Cheescake, Chocolate Pudding pie, Italian cheese cake, Butter Pecan cake, Chocolate Layer cake and a huge tray of cookies. We also had a tray of fresh fruit cut up, pineapple, watermelon, cantaloupe, oranges and chocolate dipped strawberries. I didn't eat everything but probably what I ate gave me a sugar high.

Im like you I don't eat a lot of turkey but we had:

Antipasto platter, Stuffed Shells, Turkey, Stuffing, Soup, Green Beans, Sweet Potatoes, Mashed Potatoes, Stuffed Mushrooms, Stuffed Artichokes, Glazed Carrots, macaroni and cheese and fresh baked biscuits.

I like the stuffing with gravy and biscuits and the macaroni and cheese the best!

I'm still hung over....my stomach has been knocking all day.

I didn't even eat yesterday. I volunteered at a church earlier in the day and then I just came home and relaxed.

My food hangover is always worse the day AFTER the holidays, overeating the left overs. Thanksgiving I ate until I was full and that was it. Brought some food home and clowned with it today.

LOL - it's a much less mild hangover but yeah - I've definitely been in the "food coma" state.

I definitely had some private time with the bathroom that night. Went to bed feeling bloated and still felt that way waking up kinda, but then it passed later on.

We were at Dad's and he really doesn't make a lot. No stuffing even! So, I did not over eat. Now, had I cooked at home, I would have indulged.

My family just goes way overboard with the cooking on Holidays, sometimes the desert table is covered from one corner to the other with sweets.
