Any experience on how to keep your WLS private?

I have read a lot of post where family members were opposed to our wls. In the beginning, I went through this with my mom. However, she knows how head strong and independent I am so she got of the subject and supported me in the surgery and I love her for it. My biggest problem now is she is telling everyone about my surgery, what my doctor said or did, what I can and cannot eat. She is telling everything. We live in a town of 2000 people and I feel like half the town knows of my wls. I am about to explode with her. From the beginning, I told her to keep it under wraps. I only wanted to share this experience with my immediate family and on this supportive web site. Any advice on how to handle this issue. My mom is very sensitive and her feelings are easily hurt. I want to nip this in the bud without causing WWIII.
