Didn't tell my sister

I had sleeve surgery in Jan 2017. I only told my husband, grown children & a few friends. My sister lives in CA & I haven't seen her in years. I've lost 60 lbs, I feel good, everyone tells me I look fantastic! Well my sister saw my picture on FB...she called to ask if I was sick & dying! She was very negative, asked me if I had surgery...at that point I lied and said no. After those comments she doesn't deserve to know! Well, she calls my brother who I see every September, I was going to surprise him. My sister calls him telling him I look horrible, like walking death!!!! He calls to tell me, I was so hurt. I messaged her grown daughter tell them what she said and that I did it for health reasons. They told her and she called me and left a message that how could I...that she never said that and she can't believe I did that. I told my nieces that she told my brother that!!!!! I can't deal with her. She's 74, bi-polar & has a narcissistic personality. Please tell me what you think. She was an RN.

I chose not to tell my daughter who is bipolar because she uses this kind of info as a weapon. I love her but I have to protect myself from her. In my family I only told my husband and one of my 4 children (aged 14-20) I told the 18 year old. She has been a great support. When my sister thought I was getting wls she panicked. I assured her I wasn't getting that done.
I feel awful lying to them, but really, this is my story and I have the right to share it with those I feel will not use it against me Or violate my trust.
Chin up. Take her comments for what they are worth.
Sometimes people are so used to seeing is heavy that they think we look sick because we are losing weight. They'll get used to it!
