Question
I am taking an injection for dieting that causes a feeling of fullness for a long time after eating. If I ate bread and did not recite the blessing until 72 minutes had passed, can I recite Birkat Hamazon based on still feeling full?
Answer
Shalom Rav
If you are still full, you can recite Birkat Hamazon.
Even without the weight loss injection, one who feels full after this time can recite the blessing, and the lesson was given only as a general instruction for most people, who are certainly still full from the meal within this time.
