I find broccoli and cauliflower fill me up. Cauliflower is my go-to for almost everything.1

I eat a lot of coleslaw mix (shredded carrots and cabbage). It's 25 calories for 86 grams (about a cup and a half) and it goes with just about everything. I use it for a salad, in sandwiches, as a bed for saucy foods.

Find a vegetable with higher fiber to carb ratio. It sounds like you are not found of the cruciferous (stinky) veggies.
Also, adding a little fat will help with the satiety (but not the weight loss).
It looks like all the legumes are good.

I find broccoli very filling as well. I also steam-fry cabbage and find that extremely filling for the calories.0

I typically eat it raw, but it's also good cooked.0 -
My go to is brussel sprouts, I like mine cut in half in a small skillet with a little water (2-3 Tablespoons), pepper and olive oil when the water evaporates they get a little glaze from the olive oil4

broccoli, zucchini, sweet potatoes!0
-
Spaghetti squash and mushrooms (yeah, yeah, I know it's not really a veg). Both super low in calories but still very filling. And they taste good together.0

Broccoslaw, butternut squash puree, salad greens, cauliflower rice

Sugar Snap peas. I can have a plate of those with nothing else and be quite satisfied.1
-
Cucumber, eggplant, summer squash (especially cousa), celery, radishes, jicama, long beans, celeriac, cantaloupe (yeah, not a veg, but I just ate 200g of the stuff for 69 cals & 16g carbs, so it might as well be), . . .1

Celery sticks dipped in Franks Red Hot. It's so crunchy and spicy- I end up drinking a ton of water and then feeling full2
-
Another vote for spaghetti squash.
Watermelon is really filling for the calories too. I know it's a fruit, but if Anne can go with canteloupe...1 -
Definitely broccoli and cauliflower. If you buy the frozen stuff, I don't think it smells nearly as much as cooking from raw.1

Baby carrots. You'd be surprised about how MANY are in a 3-6oz portion. You'll be chewing for a good 30 minutes.1
