I've done several successful planned interruptions. I stopped taking the hcg for 72 hours while continuing the VLCD. After 72 hours, I started eating P3-style, which for me is no sugar/no starch, and quite a lot of calories with lots of fat, protein and non-starchy vegetables. You can stay in a planned interruption for up to 2 weeks before resuming the VLCD. You just start the hcg and the diet again, with no need to reload. You can have watermelon on an interruption. But you shouldn't take an interruption until you've had at least 20 effective treatment days.

Here's how Dr. Simeons explains it in the section of P&I entitled "Unforeseen Interruptions of Treatment":

If an interruption of treatment lasting more than four days is necessary, the patient must increase his diet to at least 800 Calories by adding meat, eggs, cheese, and milk to his diet after the third day, as otherwise he will find himself so hungry and weak that he is unable to go about his usual occupation. If the interval lasts less than two weeks the patient can directly resume injections and the 500-Calorie diet, but if the interruption lasts longer he must again eat normally until he has had his third injection.
