Too late now!
A case of "Shoot first, ask questions later" maybe??
Your lollipopping looks great and I would not be removing any leaves, your plant needs every one that it has to make the energy she will need to grow her biggest and best flowers.
Your plants will be fine, but try and resist cutting anything more off, just let her settle into flowering and let her flower undisturbed. This will allow her to excel.
Hope this helps, Organoman.
