He conducted the campaign without resupply. What he may or might have done is of no consequence. He went 20 days fighting 7 battles before he laid siege to Vicksburg and there he was resupplied.

By choice, and because he didn't need it. It was always available to him if he wanted it. He only had to send the boats back up the river and load them up for the return trip.
