Depends which stone you have and what your metabolic workup shows. Sometimes you're lacking something. You need a 24-hour collection and blood work to figure that out exactly. If you wanted to just fly by the seat of your pants and do something, but not the above, rule of thumb is drink your weight in pounds x 15ml/lb every day and avoid salt and add real lemon to your water. Avoid in excess colas, coffee, spinach, tea, and peanuts. Take no more than 800mg of calcium supplements a day. My advice is to get the urine and blood work.

That is completely not normal. Most people in a 24-hour period will urinate a times in that timeframe. You definitely have something wrong and need to be evaluated.
