Turning off Find My on its own should not have wiped the phone, you must have triggered something else .

Anyhow if you have never taken a backup you have no way of restoring the data.

Best scenario is that you never turned off iCloud Backup, which is on by default.

Set up the phone as new and use your Apple ID in the setup. If you have an icloud backup it will be offered to you. If not then any data not already sync'd to a cloud service will be gone.

Your contacts, calendar, Notes, email etc should be safe.
