You are missing a very important point about postbacs, that being, there is VERY limited loan money available compared to degree-seeking programs. THAT is why you want to transfer and change majors, so you have another couple years of courses to fulfill your degree requirements before your funding is cut off. Going to a post-bac will drop the money you will be eligible to receive by a lot, and you will run out of money before you get your GPA up to a level that will keep your app out of the circular file.
