satiates

Fills to excess

Satiates means satisfies fully, especially an appetite or desire.

To satiate is to provide enough—or more than enough—to eliminate want: The feast satiated even the hungriest guests.

The word often implies satisfaction to the point of excess, where further indulgence would bring no pleasure.

Satiated carries a sense of completion that satisfied alone doesn't quite reach.
