It's strange how much cognitive dissonance there is with people about this. As much as I'm willing to believe that I might well be a completely different person tomorrow, it just doesn't seem as likely as me being almost identical. Sure, there are millions of possibilities of how I might end up, but we can still think about the possibilities percentage wise. Just as a guess, I'd bet that over 90% of possibilities have you being a completely different human being, apart from the obvious (family, appearances, etc.).
