Pancreatitis: Acute pancreatitis is a serious condition. I prefer a team approach including an internist or gastroenterologist and an abdominal surgeon following you. They will let you know when you can start liquids by mouth. Iv fluids are very important. Antibiotics may be prescribed in view of the fever. With these specialists following you closely any complications requiring intervention will be detected.

Ask your doctors: This is an impossible question for a distant forum doctor; your own doctors are the only ones who can properly manage this. Good luck.
