No, you are your consciousness. The self exists only in the story the mind tells itself, so both versions would think they are the original you.

Besides, the serialisation process is a form of quantum measurement. Depending on how coarse-grained it is, there might be no way to take a snapshot without modifying you (maybe the measurement process turns the original brain matter into soup).
