Question about pancreatitis

Wanted your opinions on your management. If you have someone come in with mild pancreatitis unknown etiology (full work up normal) with no abnormal labs other than the lipase being >5000. Vitals stable. APACHE II on admission 3. And patient wants to eat the next day with pain improved despite lipase being still >5000. Would you initiate early refeeding or would you wait a while?
