How many calories do you eat a day?

Hi all,
I was banded exactly 5 months ago, and have been using MFP since I started my pre-op diet.
After much to-ing and fro-ing, I have ended up with a limit of 1029 kcal per day.
It might seem low, but it's been working for me for the last 4 months.
But now the topic of eating too few calories is keep bobbing up on my peripheries and it made me think: do I really eat too little?
Last week I had a big weight drop between Monday and Saturday, and 3 out of the 5 days I've had more than 1029 - around 1100-1200.
I work out at least 4 times a week. On workout days my calorie burning is around 2800-3200, on non-work out days around 2200-2500. That would equate to a 2lbs steady loss, but that doesn't always happen.
So my question is: how many calories do you eat each day?
Would you mind giving me some insight - together with your height and post-op time and weight-loss success?
I'd really like to know if I need to up my number a little.
Thank you,
Kris
