Kidney Stones, Encourage It Along ?

Hi,

Was diagnosed with 3 kidney stones last night, 1 in each kidney & 1 in a ureter (7mm), the latter being the problem at the moment. Hospital said the 2 in the kidneys would be "lasered" (later told, "vibrated") to break them up.

No one ever mentioned drinking more but seems a sensible thing to do, though I do drink probably getting on for 2l a day. A thread from years ago suggested cutting out tomatoes (of which I eat a lot) & strawberries. But (possibly a dumb question, I blame the medication LOL). If the ureter's blocked (would 7mm block it ?), would the other kidney / bladder be used more / instead ? The GP's said it could up to 10 days to be passed, anything I can do to encourage it on it's way ?
