You aren't.
Look at a river. Close your eyes for a few seconds and open them back up. Are you looking at the same river? The water has all been replaced. What you first looked at is now gone.
We are the same as the river. We have the same name but the water has changed.
No need to even close your eyes. What you are describing is the definition of a river acting as it should.
My reply was to your OP which is about changing from a previous version of you. I'm asking which previous version are you measuring.
If water rots the soles of your boots, what does it do to your intestines?
