Throw an exception. That will give the calling routine
the opportunity to then do something different.

I'm not sure what the surrounding code is so I'm going
to assume that it's inline.

try:
    if SumOfNumbers == 11 or SumOfNumbers == 22 or SumOfNumbers == 33:
       raise SomeException
    else:
        I2 = int(SumOfNumbers / 10)
        F2 = SumOfNumbers - (I2 * 10)
        SumOfNumbers = I2 + F2
except:
    #whatever you need to do here


Also, please use spaces when indenting. Some newsreaders
don't indent at all when you use tabs. I've reindented your
example above for clarity.

By the way, there are probably easier ways to deal with
numerology...

Try something like this: (untested)

if SumOfNumbers not in (11, 22, 33):
    tens, units = divmod(SumOfNumbers, 10)
    SumOfNumbers = tens + units
