Scrambled egg test...

I did the scrambled egg test this morning. First, I must say that I only like to eat eggs on MY terms...meaning, I have to be in the mood for them. I was not in the mood for them this morning, but wanted to do this test. Second, I should say that I am 13 months postop and down 170 pounds. I made 3 eggs scrambled and when measured it was 1 cup. I ate all of them in the span of about 15 minutes. I did have to stop after 10 minutes and wait a minute or two before finishing them. I am not stuffed, but do not feel hungry either. Is this normal? Also, within 5 minutes of finishing them, I was in the bathroom with diarrhea. What are your thoughts there? I had my gallbladder out in March and I know things tend to "run through" people more than they did before gallbladder removal, so I don't know if it is related to the gallbladder removal, or the fact that my pouch couldn't tolerate that many eggs. I remember when I was 2 months postop and could not even finished ONE scrambled egg. I probably could eat something else right now if I wanted to, even after having eaten 3 scrambled eggs, but now after having eaten them I feel sick--like they are stuck in my throat. Not the same kind of sick I used to feel right after postop, but still sick nonetheless. And it has been my experience that when I have diarrhea, i.e. "dump", I seem to be ready to eat again right away. Is that normal? I'm just so afraid I've stretched out my pouch. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
