I'm 8 days on pre op liquids. Since my surgery was approved in North Carolina (prior to relocating), I had to fly in from Texas. Otherwise, my insurance company told me I would have to start the whole process over. I'm not doing that. Well anyway, I left my protein shakes and BP meds at home. I was trying to hold on until I got to Asheville, but I began to feel light headed and sick. Sooooo, I ate 2 scramble eggs from in the airport. And to top it off, I missed my connecting flight due to airplane maintenance. Do I feel bad about eating those eggs??? Sort of, but not to the point I'm going to allow myself to be sick. I will continue to drink my water and get back on course when I arrive I Asheville.
I had a break down

You'll be good to go, it's not going to cancel anything. If it was less than 12 hours before your surgery, that might be another story, but just eating something like that won't be a problem. My pre-op diet wasn't liquids only, so it's not going to upset the apple cart because you had some eggs.
Don't beat yourself up about it. Bet back on track until surgery and you will be good to go.
I put crackers in the broth from cups of noodles. The packs wasn't doing anything for me. Had surgery 2 years ago but having problem with acid relux (Gerd). Its horrible dealing with it.
