repletion

State of overfilling

Repletion is the state of being completely full, especially from eating.

It suggests satisfaction to the point of excess—not just full, but stuffed: After Thanksgiving dinner, we sat in comfortable repletion.

The word appears most often in medical contexts describing overfullness of blood vessels or the stomach.
