Mine came back but nowhere near as hard as the first round, so the break didn't undo the tolerance I'd built up. The mental buildup before that first shot was honestly the worst part for me too.

Restarting titration today after a break
How long was your break? Mine was about five weeks and the first shot back hit harder than expected, though it faded by day three. Curious if a longer pause makes it rougher.
Did you change anything about when or what you eat on injection day?
Second start was milder for me too, though the first couple days still felt off. Curious whether you're doing anything differently with meals this time around.
Did the same restart after a stomach-driven break and the first couple weeks back were quieter than round one. Curious whether you're going back to the exact same dose you stopped at or easing in lower
Curious whether you changed anything about how you eat on shot day this time around, since the pause reset your stomach either way
Did you change anything about timing or what you eat before your dose on the restart, or just pick up where you left off? Asking because I had a rough first go too and I'm not sure I'd do it the same way twice
Did the break make the first week back feel any different for you?, but the stomach stuff is what worries me most.
Did the nausea hit right away on day one or build over the first week? Mine crept up around day three last time, so I'm curious how yours paces out
Did the first few days back hit you at all, or was it smooth from day one? I only ask because my own restart had one queasy evening and then nothing after
How long was your break? I had a two-week gap early on and the restart was mild for me, though I never got hit hard the first time either
My own restart after a pause went smoother than I expected too, so your gut may surprise you this time around. The nerves going in were worse than the actual first week
Restarted after a six week pause myself and the queasiness was milder round two, though I still kept shot night meals small just in case. Curious whether your doc had you go all the way back to the starting dose or somewhere in between.
did you go back to the same starting dose you used the first time? I restarted lower than where I'd left off and the queasiness was milder, though I had to sit with feeling hungry for a bit.
Curious whether you went straight back to your old dose or stepped down first? My break was only two weeks but the queasiness came back milder, mostly just the first evening
How long was your break? I did about five weeks off in the fall and the restart hit me harder than round one, which surprised me since everyone says it gets easier.
Did the break change how fast the first dose hit you? Mine came on quicker after time off even though it was milder overall
Did you go straight back to your old dose or ease in lower? I had a two week pause and my first shot back hit harder than I expected, so I'm curious how yours lands this time.
Did you pick a specific day of the week to restart, or just jump in? I timed mine around a couple of quiet days at home and that made the first week back feel a lot less daunting.
Did you change anything about how you eat on restart day compared to the first time?
