You'll need to find a data recovery technician, because they'll have to read the raw data off of the sectors to attempt to recreate it. Your reformating of the hard basically turned your hard drive into a book where the pages have been randomly scrambled out of order & the Table of Contents and Index are both missing so you have no idea what the order is.

I'm afraid you're out of luck. BitLocker is designed to prevent exactly what you are trying to do. The encrypted volume has no recognizable file system and appears to all tools as simply random bits of data. Your only hope is to restore from your backup. You do keep backups of all important files, yes?
