Word, idiom or expression to describe feeling full (after eating)

Question

For example:

I like how you conveniently informed us after most of us had eaten already and we are [feeling full].

The phrase in brackets sounds unnatural to me. Would you suggest how to rephrase that better?

I don't think 'feeling full' sounds unnatural at all. But the sentence preceding it is a bit odd.
Possible duplicate of Is there a polite alternative to "No thanks, I'm full"?
your possible duplicate link is at very least superfluous and irrelevant to my question, though I found that thread interesting as well, sir.
Assuming that the response is to someone who has revealed that food will will be provided shortly, I would change the sentence to: I like how you conveniently informed us after most of us had eaten and are already full. "are already feeling full" also sounds more natural in American English.

Instead of "...feeling full", "...are full" would feel more natural in your example.

If you don't like "full", other possibilities include "sated", "satisfied", and "stuffed".

+1 on "stuffed." Also, "stuffed to the gills." – The Raven Jul 1 '11 at 18:23

If you want to make everyone look it up in their dictionaries, you could use "surfeited".

I like the sound of "moderately incapacitated," or "somewhat incapacitated."
