I accidentally over fed my puffer to the point that her body shape changed. Should I be worried?

Hi,

I gave my puffer bunch of river shrimps and they kept catching them and eating them to the point that one of my puffer body shape changed completely. Please see picture below. Now I am worried, will she die? I accidentally poured 25 shrimps and they all eat them and this one of them ate too much. I hope she survives. Can you tell if she can make it ? Is there anything I could do to take out food from her stomach?

No. Don't feed for a few days.

I recently did this with my wolf fish - in an effort to preserve my fingers I accidentally spilled a lot of mealworms into his tank. A few days later his belly was back to normal.
Puffers burn though food pretty fast so it should look right soon. Just wait on feeding for a bit as said.
