Narrative:
After a last minute aircraft change we left with insufficient fuel to fly to our destination. We noticed the fuel situation about 150 miles east of ZZZ and requested a diversion to ZZZ. After landing we took on more fuel; received a new dispatch release; filled out a new manifest and proceeded to our original destination. Somehow in the effort to leave the gate I missed the fuel quantity on the before start checklist.
