Narrative:

In ZZZ the captain and I arrived at the aircraft we noticed that there was a fuel sheet showing a zero uplift that our actual fuel was above our flight planned fuel. We discussed that and were happy for the extra pad on the fuel. At this time we had a conflict with station operation on catering not supplying water. As well there was no ppe in the cockpit to clean the cockpit correctly for safety. We had a supervisor trying the best to help us in the cockpit get this issue resolved; which never did. At that time we saw that there was a release 2 out. So we the flight crew down loaded the flight plan. The preliminary number for the runway had been ran; ran with the actual fuel load and the new ZFW. About this time we were informed ready to push.after receiving our final weights we discussed the higher planned takeoff weight and determined it was the conservative approach to use the higher weights for are performance calculations. We took off with I believe 129.5 numbers. After takeoff we received an ACARS message that dispatch had not been contacted. This was a mistake we as a crew understood. The rest of the flight went smoothly and we landed using a conservative landing data. After landing during our debrief we discussed the errors of the flight.
