I'm not really satisfied with what the thesaurus is giving me. Full, stuffed, and satiated don't quite taste right in the context I'm using. Any suggestions?

Gorged might fit. – Joe Dark Nov 09 '14 at 01:58

Tell us more about the context which this word must fit into. – Erik Kowal Nov 09 '14 at 05:15

What is the context you are using? – ermanen Nov 09 '14 at 08:10

dv because the question is poorly asked and doesn't explain why the synonyms of the question are not appropriate for the non-existent context. – SrJoven Nov 09 '14 at 13:52

@SrJoven I didn't say that any of the user-suggested synonyms were not appropriate. Can you think of a synonym for the word assumption? In the future, you may want to allow OP to reply before throwing a hissy fit. – arkon Nov 10 '14 at 18:53

I didn't say that the user synonyms were not appropriate, either. I said that the synonyms of the question, that you wrote, didn't explain why they were not good answers in the context that you didn't provide. – SrJoven Nov 10 '14 at 19:05

Feel free to modify your question and ask in [meta] to have it reopened, if you feel you can improve the question. My comment was 12 hours after you posted, and 4 hours after the last request for context was posted. – SrJoven Nov 11 '14 at 11:37

The word 'sated' would be a good fit. It's the past tense of 'sate' which means
to satisfy (any appetite or desire) fully.
or
to fill to excess; surfeit; glut.

Replete: OED 2.B.: “Filled to satisfaction with food or drink; sated, full; gorged. Freq. with with; formerly also with †of.”
