When ever you do something big to a site you´re going to hit some bumps. I can almost guarantee you will loose all your rankings for a while. Making sure your url's don't change will partially prevent this. You also need to make sure that your anchor texts don't change. (just a couple of links you can change but when you change all the anchor texts of your menu links you will drop for sure for a while.)
