sating

Filling to capacity

Sating is satisfying a desire or appetite to the point of fullness, often excess.

You sate hunger by eating, curiosity by learning, or lust by indulging it.

The word implies not just meeting a need but filling it completely: After sating himself on turkey, he collapsed on the couch.
