Nearly 2 years post-op, pregnant, with jealous friend

I am 22 months post op. Started at 378 and got down to 165 pre-pregnancy. I have a friend who had wls about the same time I did. She is younger than me by 15 years, and was not as heavy as I was pre-op. Prior to wls, I was told I could never have kids. She was really supportive of my problem, and she had three children pre-wls which I was there for her each and every time and treat her kids like they were my nieces and nephews. My problem is this: she never lost all her weight and has been extremely jealous of my weight loss success. Whenever we are around each other, she claims to be about 50-65 lbs lighter than she really is (even after plastic surgery). I was much more strict with my diet and exercise than she was, and she wouldn't listen to any suggestions I made to help her, even when she asked for them. And now she is extremely jealous of my being pregnant. Everyone around us can tell she weighs more than she claims, even with ps -- and I am just sick that the friendship may be lost because she seems to no longer be able to talk with me, and won't even say a word about my being pregnant, even when I try to share with her about it like she did with me when she was pregnant and KNEW I never could have kids. Should I just chalk it up and let it go? I hate to lose a friendship, but... it is stressing me out too much.
