I glad you will get ultrasound done. Pain meds fluids food n pepcid a.c. n cerenia/zofran are good standard for pancreatitis. I know it seems like your cat will hate you but trust me. It makes a week to 2 weeks for them to get used to a routine. So for now stick to a schedule for meds-in a week it will get easier. Especially if they help.
You can ask about sub fluids too. That's another thing I had good luck with. The food i see may have issues but if hes on pred-it may help supress any inflammation and may give you a window to add other foods.
My angel Floey used to get pancreatitis a lot too. It was related to constipation. We did well on canned pumpkin or miralax. Some cats need both. She loved pumpkin for awhile then she refused it later on so we used miralax in tuna. I mashed up a teaspoon in a wide bowl with 1/4 cup water with miralax added into water before I add to tuna.
You are doing just fine.
My other Cats I give meds and always feed them a tasty treat after. Then they don't fight me as much. And yes they hated the syringe of water more than pulling.
Keep up the good work.
