sate

Fill beyond capacity

Sate means to satisfy fully, especially an appetite or desire: Nothing could sate his hunger for power.

The word often implies satisfaction to the point of excess—you've had enough, perhaps more than enough.

Sated after the feast, they dozed by the fire.

Sate is slightly literary; in everyday speech, satisfy serves the same purpose.
